Imagine if you will, a lovely bowl of tomato soup and sitting beside it is the tastiest cheddar dill scone you can imagine. Yes, folks, that was lunch. I’m not going to lie, the soup came out of a can. I’m working my way to healthy so scones was the recipe of the day.

I’m fine — really. My chest still hurts but otherwise I’m okay. I think it’s been long enough – I’ve paid my dues, I’ve sung my song and it’s time for whatever it is to be healed.

Maybe tomorrow there will be homemade soup but don’t hold your breath. I think I want something with pears. Or maybe I want something with mangos. We bought 12 gorgeous mangoes the other day and they are *nearly* ripe. We had one for breakfast today and it won’t be long. I want a mango cheesecake and John said, “Is this for the blog or for human consumption because you know I don’t like cheesecake.”

I was strolling on Pinterest and saw some cheddar dill scones and then I did a search and there were heaps of them and they ALL looked good. I knew they would be part of my lunch. I took bits off a few recipes and I’d make these again. Think of this lunch as a grownup tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich.

For one of us who’s older than the rest, having soup in a mug is easy eating and the scone was a real treat.

“There’s always American food here, Maureen.” (Uh huh.)

“That’s because I speak American, Rob.”

So then I said, “How did you like your tomayto soup?”

“I liked my tomahto soup very much,” he said.

I swear I’m going to win one day.

These cheddar dill scones are really easy to make and only take about 15 minutes to bake. They’re seriously good. You could use other cheese or add things like sun-dried tomatoes, bacon, cayenne pepper, chives – anything that tickles your fancy. I liked these and I had the parsley and dill growing just outside the kitchen door in my pot garden.
